First problem;
Scratch the "Classic Timeline", it doesn't exist.
The most recent version of a game is always considered the Canon one.
Now the second problem is the implication that the "Mega Timeline" only has those two games. This is wrong. The games fit into the established timeline just fine. In fact, the writer of X/Y tweeted that X/Y happens alongside the events of B2/W2.
So, in actuality, while acknowledging that the multiverse means all games are technically possible, we have two IMPORTANT timelines.
>Pre-OR/ASFR/LG = Emerald -> Platinum = HG/SS -> B/W -> B2/W2 = X/Y
>Post-OR/ASFR/LG = OR/AS -> Platinum = HG/SS -> B/W -> B2/W2 = X/Y
The only difference is that the Post-OR/AS timeline exists under the understanding that Fairies and Mega Pokémon always existed. It's more of a soft retcon type deal.
The multi-verse aspect of things is actually minuscule. It's been canon since B/W, but nobody gave a damn about it because it affected/changed nothing. Zinnia's retardation brought it up again in another meaningless way.
The real question, is where will Sun/Moon fit? After X/Y/B2/W2?
